The deliberations on the side of the Ministry of War were very smooth, and it was said that it was a meeting, but in fact it was just a meeting between the Ministry of War and the generals, and everyone talked about the situation, and they had a bottom in their hearts, and they were routine, so naturally there would be no contradictions.

The Tingwei Mansion is also routinely investigating the case, and Chang'an City seems to have returned to calm.

East Palace.

The prince felt a little tired and didn't want to go to the cabinet, he didn't want to go, recently his resistance has become more and more serious, Cao Anqing has been persuading for a while, but the more he listens, the more bored he becomes, he feels that he is not living at all himself, but living like his mother and father want him to be, the more he thinks about it, the more irritated he becomes.

"Your Highness, the cabinet still has to go, the cabinet lords, especially the first assistant and the second assistant Lai, have a very high evaluation of His Highness, Your Majesty has mentioned the praise several times, obviously he is very satisfied with His Highness, and His Highness cannot give up his achievements."

"All the work lost?"

The prince glanced at Cao Anqing: "Isn't it still counted?" I asked you to take the scholar to the East Palace, what about the people? As soon as the university scholar left, he took away most of the people in the Tianzi Division, what else do I have in my hands? ”

"The scholar did not leave, perhaps because he was not sure to stay in Chang'an, and His Royal Highness also knew that how could a person like a scholar put himself in danger, now it is different from the past, and the scholar is no longer a bachelor who once called for wind and rain."

Cao Anqing bowed his head and said: "It is inevitable that the scholars are wary of His Royal Highness, the old fox is always the old fox, the slave has sent someone to contact, if it is not for the accident on the side of Fengningguan, the scholar is still living in the village outside the city, even if the scholar is nowhere to be found now, he should not go out of Gyeonggi Province, there will be news later, the people of the Tianzi Department are outside Chang'an City, not far away." ”

The prince snorted: "It's all outside the city...... What's the use of all outside the city? ”

Cao Anqing persuaded: "Today's deliberations at the Ministry of War are mainly to discuss the major affairs of the Northern Expedition, and soon Tiao Chen will be sent to the cabinet to ask you to take a look, and it is good for Your Highness to take a look." ”

The crown prince let out a long breath: "Whether it's the cabinet or the six ministries, in fact, no one is mine, I went to see and listened, and it didn't mean anything." ”

Cao Anqing said: "But this time the army has been in contact with a lot of people in the middle of the Great Beagle, these people will go to the north after the big competition, although the leaders of the battle and make plans are all big shots, but these young people are all the backbone after they arrive in the north of Xinjiang, and each of them has at least more than a thousand troops under their command, these people are the pillars of the future army, and it is not that they can't be used now, His Highness knows more about the affairs of the military department, and then mention it to those young people, they will feel that His Highness has the ability to control the overall situation at all times." ”

The prince frowned: "It's just to make them think that the layout of those young people will not be available until a few years later." ”

"Your Highness, don't be anxious, take care of the present first."

Cao Anqing said: "Now there are two things that need to be done as soon as possible, the first is Huo Ding's side, how did the Bohai people come to the Tingwei Mansion to check very strictly, if nothing else, it should have been sent to the frontier, the Tingwei Mansion has two thousand offices in the northern Xinjiang, and there are not a lot of people to investigate, if it involves Huoding, it will involve the Jiazi Battalion, the queen's layout of the Jiazi Battalion is very useful, in the future, if His Majesty has an accident during the Northern Expedition, the Jiazi Battalion is the main force to enter Chang'an to resist the forbidden army, and there are tens of thousands of elites in the Jiazi Battalion to support His Royal Highness, and the forbidden army will not dare to be too rampant at that time. ”

He glanced at the prince cautiously: "Secondly, those Bohai people in the city should be cleaned up, it's useless to keep them, it's better to leave it to the people of the Yang family to do it, and by the way, check how much weight the Yang family still has now,

Or maybe the Yang family can take away all those Bohai people, after all, they want to compete with Liuyun for territory, and these Bohai people can still be used for a purpose, and they should be dead soldiers. ”

The crown prince sighed: "It's a pity that you are a eunuch, otherwise I would really want to send you to the cabinet to be a scholar when I ascend the throne in the future, speaking of which, those scholars may not have a stronger vision than you." ”

Cao Anqing lowered his head: "The slave and the maid thank His Royal Highness for raising love, the slave and the maid are just a dog of His Highness, His Highness asked the slave and maid to take care of the house and the yard The slave and maid looked at it well, and when someone came, His Royal Highness asked the slave and maid to bite people, and the slave and maid rushed up to bite it, where is the talent of the cabinet." ”

The prince couldn't help laughing: "That is, there is a person by my side who can talk, otherwise I can suffocate myself to death every day, that's it, I'll listen to you and go to the cabinet, and you think about where to set up a banquet tonight, I want to meet those young generals I like, it's better to find a more secret place, I don't want the people of Yushitai to hold me, the prince will die if he is guilty of forming a party for personal gain." ”

Cao Anqing said: "The slave maid has been arranged. ”

The prince snorted, raised his hand and rubbed his face to make himself look kind again: "Okay?" ”

Cao Anqing nodded: "Okay." ”

The prince got up: "You go and keep an eye on the people of the Yang family, don't let them just move and retract, I still expect them to be able to change Ye Liuyun or Han Zhaozhi, if you can exchange both of them, I will feel a lot more at ease." ”

Cao Anqing lowered his head: "Your Highness, rest assured, the slaves and maids will be staring." ”

The prince left the East Palace and went to the cabinet, Cao Anqing changed his clothes after returning to his room, waited for a while and then came out of the back door, got into a carriage that had been prepared for a long time and walked south along the street, and after the carriage left Chang'an City, it went all the way to the south, and finally stopped outside a large farm outside the city, which belonged to the royal family, so it was not uncommon for people from the East Palace to arrive.

His Majesty the Emperors of Daning Dynasty have attached great importance to agriculture and mulberry, and a long time ago a place was specially set aside outside Chang'an City to be designated as the imperial field, which probably means to tell the people that the emperor will also cultivate and work with the people, but the emperor has no time to come often, so they are all planted on behalf of the people, and it is good that the emperor can come to the farm once a year, but encourage the young people of the princes and nobles to go to the farm to experience it.

Since Li Xiaoshan, the son of King Lu, went to northern Xinjiang, the emperor was merciful and did not punish King Lu, and of course he did not return to King Lu's fiefdom, so he let King Lu live in this farm and work in the fields every day like a farmer.

In addition to King Lu, King Shin is also there.

At the beginning, Li Xiaoran, the son of King Xin, rebelled in Dongjiang, His Majesty did not harm his family, King Xin and the princess were deprived of all titles, and people were escorted from the fiefdom to Chang'an City, and the emperor scolded him fiercely and threw him into this farm, King Lu was also degraded, fortunately, there was also a title, King Xin was implicated by his son and demoted to a commoner, of course, no one bullied him in this farm.

There is a piece of land on the farm that belongs to the prince, according to the emperor's will, the prince must also go to the field to cultivate in the spring every year, Cao Anqing came to the farm to see the prince's land.

Of course, the main purpose is to look at King Shin and King Lu.

The most complicated father-son brother relationship in the world is the royal family, and their two princes are more complicated, the father is the emperor, the eldest brother is the emperor, and later the second brother is also the emperor.

And they are destined to have no chance with the emperor.

King Xin was originally a wandering man, and he was ready to die when he was escorted to Chang'an, but His Majesty was not too embarrassed to think of family affection, but just punished him for farming

That's it, it's better than death.

The weather in March had warmed up, and King Shin and his wife walked into the field with a hoe in a cloth coat, and the ground was already frozen, and it was time to turn over the ground and sow seeds and water them, and he looked at his wife as he walked, with apologies on his face.

"I owe nothing to anyone in my life, but to you."

His wife smiled: "You never thought about being sorry for me when you were messing with flowers and grass outside, and when you were nostalgic for Qinglou, I was afraid that you would have forgotten me to the clouds, and Your Majesty reduced us to commoners, but we are grateful, don't think about going anywhere in the future, just face me all day long." ”

King Xin's guilt was even stronger: "I didn't teach my son well, and I didn't manage my family well, so I hurt you." ”

"Don't talk about your son."

His wife shook her head: "Never." ”

If it weren't for Mu Zhaotong's people taking their son to Chang'an back then, how could there be so many things in the future, Li Xiaoran was seven or eight years old at that time, not an ignorant age, and the humiliation of being blocked outside Chang'an City made him unable to solve it in his heart, now it's okay, the people are gone, the humiliation and ambition have gone with him, and he finally came out of this shadow, and Princess Xin didn't want to uncover the scars again.

"You're right."

King Shin said as he walked: "We are very good now, we are planting fields, and our health is much better than before, and we seem to have endless words when there is no farm work in winter, and suddenly I feel as if we are back to our youth, otherwise we will have another child?" ”

Princess Xin's face flushed: "How old is it, it's not serious!" ”

As he was talking, he saw from a distance that King Lu was also carrying a hoe, and Princess Lu was following aside, although the title of King Lu was still there, but he was also clothed, and his wife was imprisoned in the fief and almost died.

The two brothers couldn't help but laugh when they saw each other.

"What are you going to plant on that field?"

"When the wheat is green, water, turn over the white ground, and plant vegetables."

"Hahaha, the same."

The two walked side by side, and the two ladies were also talking and laughing behind.

At this time, the carriage of the East Palace entered the farm, as if the time had been calculated, and it happened that the two brothers came in when the carriage came outside, Cao Anqing got off the carriage and trotted all the way over to give these two gifts, King Xin ignored it, after all, he was already a common man, where could he still receive a big gift from the prince of the East Palace, King Lu was okay, and he casually said a few polite words to Cao Anqing.

Naturally, there were people on the farm staring at them, Cao Anqing just said something politely and then ran to the prince's land, and the voice of the voice was not small, and the people accompanying him heard it, and there was nothing wrong.

Cao Anqing went to the prince's land to take a look, beckoned the entourage over, and instructed that the prince didn't have time to come over recently, so let them go outside and invite some farmers to come over and help with farming.

This was not a special matter, and soon the officials on the farm side arranged for people to go out, and after an hour, a dozen farmers were found.

Cao Anqing stared at those people for a while after seeing them come in, making sure that these people had no problem doing their work before leaving, and when he left, he also gave a small gift to the official who was in charge of affairs here, which was not worth much, just some tea.

The carriage drove out of the farm, back and forth, and seemed to be in a hurry.

The new farmer was willing to work hard, and he turned the land out in just one day, and the next day he needed to level and water it, so he stayed on the farm and didn't leave.

These people are all from the Yang family.
